Paper Summary:

This research paper is on the success of education to prevent eating disorders. It involves both summary of important research done prior to the writing of the paper and a proposal for a new study different from research that has been done before. The author describes the effect of preventative courses on the onset of eating disorders in young adolescent girls.

From the Paper:

?The course will entail several of the aspects already mentioned. It will involve education about eating disorders - specifically what they are, exactly what people with eating disorders do, and consequences of eating disorders. Examples, testimonies and pictures of girls with eating disorders will be presented. The course will also involve instruction on maintaining a healthy diet - the girls will receive information on what a healthy, balanced diet involves and how to follow it. In order to teach the girls about keeping a positive attitude about their bodies, leader guided discussion and personal reflection will take place. Famous role models who have overcome society's standards for the "perfect body" will be introduced (not personally). Girls will also be involved in self-esteem boosting activities.?
